ADF Foods signs deal for 950 KWp rooftop solar plant at Surat facility

[ADF Foods Limited](https://scanx.trade/company/adf-foods-ltd) has signed an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract with CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions Limited to install a **950 KWp** rooftop solar power plant at its manufacturing facility in Surat, Gujarat. The plant will be owned by the company under the CAPEX model, targeting commissioning by the end of this year.

The new installation is expected to meet approximately **46%** of the Surat facility's energy requirements through renewable power generated and consumed on site. This initiative extends ADF Foods' renewable energy strategy, which previously included a 2 MW hybrid wind and solar power purchase agreement for its Nadiad facility signed earlier this year.

## Strategic focus on operational efficiency

Bimal Thakkar, Chairman and Managing Director and CEO of ADF Foods, stated that the move follows the company's commitment to hybrid renewable power at Nadiad. By investing in its own solar capacity at Surat, the company aims to increase its use of renewable energy and lower electricity costs. The development aligns with broader ESG initiatives focused on responsible manufacturing and reducing carbon footprint in line with India's net-zero emissions goal for 2070.
